✦ UPCOMING ENGAGEMENTS (+ NEWS)

80TH ANNIVERSARY COMMEMORATIONS OF VE DAY :

The King will be joined by Prince and Princess of Wales in marking the 80th anniversary of VE Day at a series of events in May to honour our war heroes.

Charles and senior members of the royal family will pay tribute to the fallen at a special Service of Thanksgiving at Westminster Abbey, as part of a special programme of commemorations.

Queen Camilla, the Prince and Princess of Wales, as well as the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, are expected to join the Prime Minister, and hundreds of veterans and their families at the service.

At the Cenotaph on May 8, the King will also lead the royals as they attend commemorations marking 80 years since the end of WWII in 1945.

The government is due to release a series of details on events that Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said will offer a moment for the nation to come together and “do that generation proud”.

They include a music and entertainment concert at Horse Guards Parade and a stunning flypast of aircraft from the RAF’s historic Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and the Red Arrows to pay tribute to the veterans.

As part of commemorations, military and civilian services will join organisations and associations representing those who fought in the Second World War in Europe for a parade from Westminster Abbey and up to Whitehall.

The parade will pass the famous balcony where Winston Churchill appeared before the crowds on VE Day after his famous speech to mark Victory in Europe. As the parade enters Horse Guards Parade the flypast will take place.

'Louis Tomlinson has proven he's not just an ex-boyband star, he's a rocker'

Some know him as 'that guy from One Direction', others, including myself know him as arguably one of South Yorkshire's finest exports but Louis Tomlinson is only getting better, writes Daniel Bird

Louis Tomlinson may only have two solo albums but he's proving to be one of the artists people should keep an eye on.

Having burst onto the music scene in 2010 as one-fifth of One Direction – a band created by Nicole Scherzinger on The X Factor after all five members were rejected, he's proven he's not just an ex-boyband singer. While singers from bands tend to keep a low profile and venture into other industries after a split, Louis is on a one-way ticket to becoming a mega-star in his own right.

Known for never losing his Doncaster accent and humour, the 31-year-old is currently embarking on his Faith In The Future World Tour, performing to thousands of die-hard fans every night – which he deserves credit for.

Although he may have come from one of the biggest bands of all time, the cheeky chap isn't afraid of getting up close and personal with fans – much to the dismay of his security who leap into action when he jumps off stage and runs to the barricade to see fans. In recent weeks, Louis has seen his expensive vests ripped off him, with fans even going as far as tickling him.

This, however, hasn't stopped him from putting on an incredible show. Despite only releasing two studio albums as a soloist (his second topping the Official UK Charts), he's pushing himself to the limits and playing arenas across the world. Most recently, he performed to around 21,000 fans at Manchester's AO Arena on November 11.

Walking onto the stage may be daunting for some, but Tomlinson showed no signs of fear as he opened with The Greatest – ironically, perhaps the greatest opening track. Throughout the night, he performed hits including Kill My Mind but also paying tribute to his One Direction days, belting out Drag Me Down and Where Do Broken Hearts Go. But since his pop days, Tomlinson has edged towards a more EDM and synth sound before finding his comfort in rockier tracks. He'd previously stated he'd taken inspiration from the likes of Sam Fender, Amy Winehouse, Arctic Monkeys and Manchester legends, Oasis.

Nowadays, fans can expect the odd pop hit but also enjoy punk rock as well as indie pop and soft rock.

However, despite being in the business for almost 14 years, Louis remained grounded and acknowledged that Manchester was the start of his career. Between songs, he recalled his first audition for The X Factor in front of Simon Cowell, Scherzinger and Louis Walsh, being in the city. He told fans: "This is where I did my very first audition, so to be back here on my own it definitely feels full circle and I couldn't have done that without you.

Louis Tomlinson fans 'screaming' and 'crying' as he releases unexpected album

Louis Tomlinson appears to have broken the internet by surprising fans with an unexpected album, a collection of 15 songs recorded in different cities over the past three years

Louis Tomlinson's impressive music has once again sent fans wild.

The chart-topper has today announced a brand new album following days of speculation. Tomlinson, 32, has had fans involved in a global puzzle over the past few days, with secret locations across the world revealing hidden messages. But more information has since been released and fans struggled to contain their excitement.

News of Louis' latest record, LIVE, comes two days after the Doncaster-born musician bagged Artist of the Year at the Northern Music Awards, which has been dubbed the 'BRITs of the north'. Since releasing his debut solo album Walls, in 2020, Louis has gone on to achieve success outside of his former band, One Direction.

His debut record was certified Silver, having peaked at Number 4 on the Official UK Charts, as well as bagging two Top Ten singles and a Number One album, Faith in the Future. But he's set to continue smashing boundaries with LIVE. The 15-track record features a song recorded in different cities at different shows from the past three years.

Over the course of three years, Louis has performed over 170 shows, flying to 47 countries and five continents for his Louis Tomlinson World Tour (2020 - 2022) and Faith in the Future World Tour (2023 - 2024). LIVE, features some of his biggest tracks including Out Of My System, Walls and We Made It, as well as various tracks loved by his fans, Louies, live for the first time.

Speaking about the record, Tomlinson commented: "I've been lucky enough to spend the last 3 years touring the world twice over. The feeling I get sharing those live moments will be with me forever. To be able to record these songs from all over the world and put them out as an album like this feels so special, and a real tribute to the fans who make each and every show feel unique and incredible. Thank you!:

But adding to the mystery, Tomlinson is releasing in both digital, which is out now and physical form. The Physical edition which is released on August 23 includes a double CD and LP picture disc vinyl, along with a Tour Book, with fans being able to submit messages to be included in the publication.

One track which will certainly delight fans is a recording of One Direction's mega-hit, Where Do Broken Hearts Go. Fans have since shared their excitement, with one writing: "'This record is a true collaboration between me and you', SCREAMING, CRYING." A second penned: "I'm fully sobbing right now."

"This live album is a celebration of you coming so far, performing in arenas like O2 and now some of the largest stadiums, and the artist-fan relationship we share. I'm so proud of everything you have achieved," commented a third.

Louis, who has experimented with his sound, including punk rock, indie pop, EDM and soft rock is currently preparing for the final shows of his Faith In The Future World Tour which he kicked off on May 26, 2023, with his final show being on September 8, 2024, as part of Superbloom Festival.

Louis Tomlinson 'furious' as cartoon reignites rumour of Harry Styles affair

The One Direction star was reportedly outraged after a cartoon produced by Drake depicted a sex scene between him and Harry

Louis Tomlinson is said to be furious after a cartoon reignited rumours of a gay affair between him and Harry Styles.

Now, a US cartoon produced by singer Drake, an HBO teen show dubbed Euphoria, has dragged up the unsubstantiated rumours once more by depicting an animated sex scene between Louis and Harry.

He said on Twitter: "I can categorically say that I was not contacted nor did I approve it”.

A source close to Louis told The Sun: "Louis was angered by the scenes as he thinks it's immature and makes an already awkward situation worse.

"He thought it was out of order for producers not to bother to get in touch to give him a heads up.

"He's had a great weekend at Glastonbury with his mate and the furore Stateside put a bee in his bonnet."

In the past, Louis has admitted that the fan fiction about him and Harry drove a wedge between them and that he felt it was offensive to his girlfriend Eleanor Calder.

He previously told the publication: "People can believe what they want, but it comes across as a little bit disrespectful to the ones that I love, like Eleanor.”

Louis Tomlinson wins huge award admitting gong 'means the world' to him

Hitmaker Louis Tomlinson has beaten the likes of Sam Fender and Self Esteem to bag a huge award, with the musician admitting it meant more to him than he could explain

Louis Tomlinson has received yet another award for his glowing trophy cupboard.

The hitmaker, 32, has made a name for himself since releasing his debut solo album Walls, in 2020. In the years following the record hitting Number 4 on the Official UK Charts and being certified Silver, Tomlinson has gone on to tour the globe and bagged two Top Ten singles.

But it appears his solo career is receiving industry recognition with the Doncaster, South Yorks, star bagging Artist of the Year, having gone up against fellow South Yorkshire-born singer, Self Esteem and Newcastle's Sam Fender. The star was awarded the gong at the Northern Music Awards, appearing via videolink to celebrate his award.

Sitting in a hotel room, the singer said: "Hi, I'm Louis Tomlinson and I'm really sorry I can't be with you tonight at the Nordoff and Robbins Northern Music Awards, I'm currently on tour. But I just want to say, it means the world to win Artist of the Year. Thank you, thank you and thanks for doing such an incredible thing for charity."

Although Tomlinson burst onto the scene singing pop songs, in recent years, he has branched out into punk rock, indie pop, soft rock and EDM, proving to be one of the most versatile artists in the industry. The musician is currently preparing for the final shows of his Faith In The Future World Tour which he kicked off on May 26, 2023, with his final show being on September 8, 2024, as part of Superbloom Festival.
